What is the best reason for a prospective student to choose your school?

"The reason I chose it was because of its diversity. VCU has one of the most diverse campuses I've ever seen. It's like a study abroad program, but you don't have to go abroad to get the experience. Also, everybody has a place to fit in here."

J.R. Johnston, Class of 2009

"Virginia Commonwealth University, Virginia's largest university, is located in a vibrant, urban community that serves as an extension of classrooms into real-world experiences for our students. We're very proud of our diverse student body and faculty and the positive, energetic impact that VCU has in the Richmond area. We're also proud of numerous nationally ranked programs, including two No. 1 graduate rankings in sculpture and nurse anesthesia, which reflect the excellence, depth and breadth of the hundreds of choices our students have."

Eugene P. Trani, President
